Tim Howard For President! 11 Reasons Why U.S. vs. Belgium Proves It

In a game that hasn't exactly been the U.S.'s best, one American has emerged as a true hero on the field this game. That's right: It's nothing less than Tim Howard for President right now. The man's saved just about everything with just about every part of his body, and regardless of the game's outcome we have to hand it to this guy for letting the U.S. fight it out from beginning to end.

Here's a little about Howard to impress your friends: Howard is known as the Americans' "Brick Wall," apparently, and he played so well during Tuesday's game that the commentators couldn't help but call him "Mr. Invincible." The 35-year-old Howard is straight out of New Brunswick, New Jersey; has a rep for playing games despite being injured; and plays for the English club Everton when he's not, you know, being nominated by Twitter for a presidential campaign.

Timmy is one of our big shots. He's our leader. He keeps everybody together. We need him right now. In a World Cup, if you want to go far, you need one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and we have that one.

Here are some of the best Tweets in support of Howard's basically otherworldly performance on Tuesday — and the best saves Howard made this game.
